Ay Yi Yi Robot
Watched I Robot while practicing work avoidance yesterday. What a steaming pile of crap based on the title of a book with the same name! You know a movie's in bad shape when even it sqaunders Will Smith's considerable charm, but I Robot's biggest flaw was that it abandoned almost everything from Asimov,except the three laws (good) and a very 1940's view of what robots would be. Who needs mechanical manservants when everyday objects perform more and more of our chores?

The BBC intends to broadcast every surviving Bach composition, beginning December 16 and ending on Christmas. Now that's special programming.
Bachianas
Paul Griffiths reviews two new books about Bach. I'll probably read both, but it's his writing I find delightful.
Back of the Book
Indexes may be at the back of the book, but a good one can be the difference between a good book and a great one. Enid Stubin remembershttp://www.moreintelligentlife.com/node/735">remembers; her stint at the Sydney Wolfe Cohen Associates indexing service.
Back to the Fillmore
Andrew Coil VI gets a chance for a real rock'n'roll revival. From The Boy Who Cried Freebird.
Backward Causality
We report, you decide.
Bagheera Baby!
Doesn't this phiz look like it should be on a car hood?
